This Page is where I’m documenting the Build/Assembly/Mods of the Lasersaur laser cutter I’ve purchased with my friends Craig and Mang

Since the ‘Saur is a work in progress, there’s a bunch of stuff we’ve been developing in conjunction with the LaserSaur Project - my contributions have been to convert all the CAD files from Rhino over to Solidworks, advise on laser safety issues, and develop an air-assist for the system.

Transforming Motion into Emotion

I am a classically trained Mechanical Engineer who has specialized in designing and building both large and small scale scientific experiments in an R&D environment. I am currently working at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab at the Advanced Light Source, where I design, build and manage experimental systems dealing with X-Rays, femto-second lasers and a plethora of high-tech gizmos.

My Artistic side expresses itself in the form of Kinetic art, both physical and virtual (light and sound giving the impression of motion.) I have displayed pieces at Burning Man as well as at my studio space located at the CaTaCLYsMic MeGaSHEaR RanCh, which also serves as a base for less artistic projects as well.
